An acclaimed figure in Israeli historiography, but little known in
Australia, this book asks the question why. Margolin served in two
armies in the First World War, the Australian and British, and was
buried twice with full military honors, first in Australia, then
Israel. Escaping the Russian pograms, he helped pioneer and defend
the settlement of Rehovot in Palestine, and as an original ANZAC
served with distinction at Gallipoli. He was recruited by
Jabotinsky to take command in the Jewish Legion in Palestine,
becoming the first Jewish district commander there since the time
of Bar Kokhba. His men of the First Judeans put down the 1921 Arab
May Day pogrom in Jaffe for which he was expelled from Palestine
back to Australia.
